Top 100 Ranking at a glance:

Year after year, companies engage in a hard competition for innovations, market shares, customers and economic success. The annual Top 100 MSG Ranking gives credit to 100 German companies that have grown and performed exceptionally well over a longer period.

The ranking is not limited to specific industries and accounts for the preceding four-year business performance.

The TOP companies listed in the ranking stand apart owing to the following factors in particular:

• High level of internationalization
• No.1 or 2 in the global niche market > 30% market share
• International management
• Consistent sales growth topping 20% and above-average profitability
• Extremely close proximity to customers and markets
• Focus on key processes and core business
• Innovation-driven solutions
• Highly competitive approach and excellent market know-how 
• Stable, consistent leadership
• Company structure is highly flexible and characterized by external focus

The current study ranks d.velop AG 33rd, which is an excellent achievement. d.velop’s Managing Director and founder Christoph Pliete is highly satisfied with this result: “Since the very beginning, d.velop has strived to achieve consistent growth without external help. For this to work, you need motivated and competent employees. What makes me particularly happy is that our strategy and dedication have done more than make our customers, partners and colleagues feel at ease. Our Top 100 Ranking placement illustrates that we are also moving in the right direction from an objective standpoint.”

Heinz B. Wietfeld, Director of Sales, d.velop International: Backed by reports from independent analysts, we have been aware for some time now that we are growing faster than the average ECM or general IT market – and we take great pride in this. But being ranked so highly in a cross-industry comparison of this dynamic export nation, is also a clear indicator of the trust our customers and partners place in us.

And new or prospective international sales partners are as much interested in a powerful technology for their customers as they are in gaining a reliable and potent cooperation partner. After all, what really counts in today’s software sector to ensure long-term success is an effective combination of business performance/size and leading technologies.
